What do you think about this split? I have to say that I am with JR on this one. There obviously is a problem at DEI, they were never a dominant force but there was a time when DEI was winning most of restrictor plate races. There are only a few of these each year, but it was something to build...

I just read an article at ESPN, where the writer compared tiger woods to jeff gordon. He made a case for gordon being the tiger woods of nascar,,even though gordon has been around longer,, which is not my point. OK yes they are both great champions of their respective sports, but gordon is...

I know this question is probably quite basic but I just want to be sure. It is in regards to the setting of the low pass filter on a sub. My mains frequency begin to roll off pretty sharply at around 50Hz. This is obviously where i want my sub to engage...??? The question is where do I set the...

The time to upgrade from my 27" tube with a single coax input is long overdue and this post is the first step in my upgrade. My viewing area is not huge, I am only 8-10 feet away so I really do not need a monster set. I am looking to stay within a $1,000 budget but we will see. I would like...

Well I just did my taxes and was lucky enough to get a refund. This means i can continue piecing together my growing stereo. I say stereo because I am currently am aiming at putting together a nice HT geared towards music. The next step for me is a Sub. I have never owned a nice subwoofer and am...

I recently have started piecing together my first HT. I got a set of Paradigm studio 100's and a NAD Stereo receiver. Yes wich is use primarily for music. During college most of my Cd's got destroyed, were lost, or stollen so most of my music collection now is in the form of Mp3's on the ipod. I...

Hey fellas. I bought a set of Studio 100's last weekend and have been listening every night for a few hours. I havent really pushed the envelope volume wise to date, but they still sound amazing. My question is this; How long should I wait to start pushing them a little harder? Do I have to...

I just bought some new heavy duty speaker wire this weekend for a two channel bi-wired setup. My question is this, are there different sizes of bananna plugs? The ones that came with the wire look like they are high quality but they wont fit no matter how hard I push. The plug itself screws on...

First off I realize that is probably not the most exciting post you are going to read but I just thought of a potential problem and would really appreciate some help. I am currently in the process of purchasing and new reciever-speakers-sub,,, the whole nine yards. The problem might prove to be...

I need a new receiver to go with a pair of Paradigm Monitor 11's I just bought. I am familiar with yamaha's and am actually looking at the new Yam-659. I dont however know much about other recievers such as Denon or HK. Depending on who you listen to you could here a thousand different opinions...

I am on day two of my research into starting a new system. I am looking to have a nice finished system eventually but for now would like to purchase my fronts and a receiver. The system will go in a small living room and be used primarily for music, I do not have a nice tv. Unless things change...
